The Osbournes have several pets, as many witnessed during the days of their MTV reality show. But for the Black Sabbath icon, Rocky was top-notch. Osbourne even Facetimed with the dog, earning some derision from his son Jack Osbourne.
Sharon Osbourne even shared a video montage of Rocky on her own account, even getting some praise from PETA for some reason. “We lost an OG and Ozzy’s partner in crime ~ Rest Easy Rocky,” she wrote.
If anything, it was clear the dog was special to the rockstar. He even shared a video showing the dog rocking out to “Crazy Train” while sitting on the patio.
